It seems that a lot of people want to see manual transmission (H-Shifter/Clutch) in the new NFS title but till now it is not sure its gonna be.

So someone is starting an petition for getting manual transmission inside NFS 2015; They need 1000 petitions, so If your a fan of the NFS series and want to have MT; here is your chance:

Also, I've found a video editor, that was kind of a movie-making practice too, so I can now have a "pedal cam".

And, there's something really nice about just free roaming with a wheel.

As far as I know you can't configure anything (that's my PS3), the G27 is detected and that's it, but still, steering is 360 degrees total more or less, so GT5-like dare I say. No manual transmission (the option doesn't exist in the game, but there's a mod for PC somewhere I think).

]]>18479Thu, 25 Jun 2015 10:09:47 +0000Shift 2: WHAT a close call!https://www.isrtv.com/forums/topic/17148-shift-2-what-a-close-call/So, this just happened to me. See it at 3:50.

That was 6 inches, not including the side mirrors. And no, I don't know what the AI was trying to do!!!

Second, if you want a rear view mirror, you won't have one in this game (there's one with the hood view, but in cockpit, you see half of the rear view mirror in half of the cars unless you push a button to look left or right).
Third, if you want good AI, look elsewhere. The AI has its good moments, but most of the time they got a "kill or be killed" mentality.
And finally, if you want to drift, look elsewhere. You CANNOT drift with a steering wheel in drift mode with Shift 2, the drift mode is broken. Same with a controller (Got stuck at 97% with a controller, it's impossible to finish the drift mode.)

I play with a PS3 and a Logitech G27, 540 degrees, Hard/Elite mode, no TCS/ABS/etc (paddle shifting or 6-speed shifter + clutch works).With that said, after messing with this game for months with two different steering wheels, here are the most useful settings:

So, your car drives like a boat. Just these changes will make an ENORMOUS difference.

(Global steering settings)
-Steering sensitivity: 50%, mandatory (Gives you 1/1 real wheel - game wheel rotation)
-Speed sensitivity: Why the hell does this even exist. This is your handicap level, from 0 to 100% molasses in your steering.
Set it to 0%, mandatory, before everything, otherwise you'll spend hours setting up your car and your Porsche will still drive like a bus.
-Degrees of rotation: 540 or more. If you want 360, add molasses.

Also, one small thing: If you didn't notice it, the HUD moves, a lot. Remove the HUD, or set it to minimal, and every car you drive will feel a lot more stiff.

After this, all cars in your garage should drive fine (yes, that's it!).

But if it's not enough, here are some car settings, mostly useful for cars with high (often excessive) power:

(Car modifications)
-Tires: Use semi-slick or slicks only. Otherwise, you'll drift every corner, or the car will seem to sway in a strange way in every corner.(In Advanced car settings)
-Caster angle: Translation, "how much slack do you want with your steering". Set it to more than 50% for more precision. Set it higher if needed.
-Front sway bar: Set it to maximum stiffness and you will be able to point the car everywhere you want it.
-Spring rates, dampers, etc: Setting them to 2.0 is a good choice if all the rest isn't sufficient (or if the car still feels floaty).

That's ALL you need, everything else only does minor changes.

Bonus:You still feel like you're driving with Traction Control, etc.?
-There's another problem called "visco-electronic lock" on some AWD cars (Lambos, etc) set to 50% by default. Set it to 25% and it will drive okay. Set it to 0% and say hello to oversteer, 100km/h rubber burning and frequent tire squealing.Now, you feel like you're driving an arcade game because your tires don't even squeal, so you don't even feel the limits of your car?
-Set the rear sway bar to 50% stiffness or even less.You lose the rear at the end of corners?
-Set the rear sway bar to 50% stiffness or even less.

I hope this helps. It sure helped me, I've just done the Nordschleife in 6:26 with the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 "Works" (Technically, it's now a 1032-4).

(Video, with Logitech G27 wheel)https://www.isrtv.com/forums/topic/16254-shift-2-freezing-my-ps3-video-with-logitech-g27-wheel/

(Console freeze at the end.)

Yup, I hate computer gaming because of all the freezing and the crashes and the bugs (and 1000 other reasons), but guess what, Shift 2 is one rare game capable of freezing a PS3 console (hard reset needed after). This game is basically abandoned, so won't be patched, and if you drive something, anything, at more than 300km/h, practically every time, your PS3 will freeze.

These setups are made ​​with many hours of testing and fit all types of tracks.I have made ​​to meet the greatest shortcoming of the game, and the cars and the default game settings makes it unplayable.

I honestly do not is because I made ​​them, but they will experience a new game, literally.

all other cars, but do not respect the real car specs, if faithfully replicating the behavior of the car, or the type of championship which is intended, Rally, DTM, GT, sporty urban ...

They are also compensated, the easier driving is slower, and the fastest exigenttes and allow more than one fault.

The cars are completely stable, without inertia in straight or curved, you go off the racing line to overtake and return it to stability.

I recommend playing them in elite mode without aid, they do not need and driving. No probe to pad but people say they are incredible. I uploaded a configuration command and a wheel of Microsoft, which very few people are

Just try it, because the game has flaws or bugs in the configuration that prevents anyone who has not detected can succeed. For example, the toe is reversed, does the opposite of what he says, at least in Spanish version.

The only thing I wish is that you can enjoy the game as the creators probably thought, but by poor management no one can enjoy without spending too much time.

I can assure you not at fault hechareis rfactor or GTR, since the game has the physical, but has failed to deliver them for some reason.

The tracks are "alive" (you feel it all in the wheel), the ride is engaging, and I love GT1-GT3 cars.

Sharing this (recorded many months ago), while my Thrustmaster F430 has to be returned/repaired/exchanged/whatever.

Enjoy!

I'm using a wheel with my PS3, I'm in total control of most cars, and I'm in love with the game.https://www.isrtv.com/forums/topic/12601-shift-2-okay-im-using-a-wheel-with-my-ps3-im-in-total-control-of-most-cars-and-im-in-love-with-the-game/Look at the forums, look at Youtube comments, and you will see a LOT of people with steering wheels AND with controllers saying, basically, that "this game is undrivable".

Well, agreed, this game was hard. But ALWAYS fun to play despite the difficulty.

With a controller, Gran Turismo 5 is a snorefest, only demanding that someone uses the left joystick to "steer lock" anything and everything at 200km/h in rain. That's not what I call fun. I'll prefer 10 crashes an hour (damage included and no "rewind" option) to this.

So with a controller, I completed my Shift 2 career mode at 96%, and I'm firmly convinced that this game is the best racing game ever.

I've bought a Thrustmaster F430 steering wheel recently, saying to myself "well, maybe 75% of cars won't be drivable with the steering wheel, and I know you can't mod a PS3 game, but at least I'll try." With this in mind, I had a plan for today. Just having fun with the game, and "trying" to find drivable cars. Trying. My idea was to come here, and start a new topic, like "The ultimate list of drivable cars in Shift 2 with a steering wheel".

Guess what: I gave up. I don't believe it's 100% luck. The 10 last cars I've tried, the 10 most powerful cars in my garage, drive PERFECTLY well with my steering wheel.

Edit: Undriveable cars in this game are actually rare, and it's never hopeless (since you can configure everything).

What were the complaints, already? "Cars drive like boats". The cars are "swaying".

Well, with a little steering deadzone, the swaying is gone. Not sufficient? Set the steering lock (in the car settings) to 15 instead of 20. That's it!!!

And my steering wheel is only 200 degrees! And I'm even driving in cockpit view, and the supposed input lag isn't affecting me... Go figure.

Agreed, maybe some cars are difficult to drive in the first invitationals. And you CAN'T modify them. But anyway. I'm having a blast with most of the others.

Anyone else feeling the same way?

My Thrustmaster F430 steering wheel settings:

Force Feedback: 100%
Steering Deadzone: 2%.
Steering Sensitivity: 75%

Speed Sensitivity: 40%

Game settings:

Hard / Elite / Assists Off / TCS Off / Stability Control Off / ABS Off

Edit: All those settings are all wrong if you have a G27 or any other 900 degrees wheel. Here are some global settings:

For those wondering, yes, this car exists (it's Chris Rado's AWD Scion Time Attack), and no, there's isn't as much flames coming from the real car... it's more flames than in the game. (look at 25 seconds -- Warning: Loud).

That's the game's hardest car to drive in the game's most difficult track. It's like "yay, I'm happy I only hit the barrier once and only did one 360."

This car must have 1500hp. Battling with the steering wheel this much reminded me of videos of people trying the Lotus 49 in some sims. I'm guessing the "full-sim" Lotus 49 is easier to drive than this "sim-cade" fully modified McLaren F1 in a game in which I feel maybe 20% of what the force feedback should be in real life.

Sure it has crappy handling, but there are mods for that issue, and the career mode is fun. Will I do league racing with it? Hell no. I'll probably only play it with a controller anyway. If some of you out there are like me and were waiting to pick this title up on the cheap, now is the time. Sale ends about 24 hours from the time I posted this.

Just over a decade has passed since the release of the NFS Underground series. I remember playing these games on my parents' laptop late at night. Little did they know anything about that haha! 800x600, lowest graphics preset, fell in love with the series.

Now a few years into the present time, I've built myself a fairly modest computer. Not long after, built my own DIY PVC rig (will be posting pictures in Simul8r's thread soon). Been very active in sim-racing, especially iRacing and rFactor.

As of late, I've been experiencing nostalgic moments... dying to get back to the Underground series. However, I'm looking for some quality modifications to make the game feel more modern.

Currently only support for 4:3 resolutions with a maximum of 1280x960... I'd like to make it 16:9 and 1080p if possible... I don't know what other mods are out there? I am not much of a mod-liking person... unless ofcourse they are quality ones (think Niels Heusinkveld / Siim Annuk / Historic GT etc).

i have been tearing my hair out trying to get my Thrustmaster T500rs to work with NFS Unleashed on my PS3

using the default setting my car handles really badly but as soon as i try to change the settings in any way suddenly there is no power when i push the pedals down.

my car just won't move at the start line.

when i go back to default setting everything is ok again, apart from the rubbish handling!

not only that but in the option screen it starts to rotate at crazy speeds and is impossible to select any of the options.

i have tried powering down the PS3 unplugging the wheel but having the same results over and over.

all other driving games work fine.

i'm wondering if anyone else is having/had these problems.

warm regards to all

I use to be a fan of the NFS games a long time ago, but since discovering simulations I've made the switch from arcade. I tried Shift 2 for the Xbox 360 a while ago, and didnt like the handling of the cars, no matter what I tried it just wasnt right. But this sale has me curious...will the mods make it exciting to play for a guy who leans more toward sim than arcade? Shift 2 on Steam during this sale is only $5.99 US. I'd like to hear some opinions, preferrably from those that have Shift 2 and the better handling mods.

The cars are always all over the road at ridiculously low speeds. Nothing at all like any other racing games I usually play. I've tried a ton of settings but can't get it right.

Can anyone check their settings in the game and on the wheel and let me know what works out? This is just uncontrollable for some reason. I've also tried turning off letting the game adjust settings but it just seems even worse then.

I've tried 0 deadzone on wheel and pedals, but seems to make the oscillation worse.

Just downloaded Shift 2 on the PC, first impressions are pretty good once the settings are correct and the handling mod installed.

I'm using a g25 with CSP and TH8 shifter , but the problem is I can' t find any solutions to use the shifter.

Can' t find any buttons to map separate gears or anything, it recognise the shifter because I can set the buttons for other things (like changing view)

If I turn automatic clutch off all that happens is that I have to use the clutch with the paddle shifters.

Any help on how I could get the shifter to work would be hugely aprreciated!

Cheers

The Brit

Please ISM, try these settings before rating the game. For me this game should get better

score than Gran Turismo or even Forza Motorsport.

First of all it makes a huge difference if you turn car damage on or only visually. I suggest full real car damage.
